FAQ

Can I use the CN-HG701-11 on a road groupset like Ultegra or 105?

Yes. The CN-HG701-11 is compatible with all Shimano 11-speed road drivetrains including Ultegra R8000 and 105 R7000, as well as GRX and 11-speed MTB groups.

What is the difference between the CN-HG701-11 and the CN-HG901-11?

The CN-HG901-11 (Dura-Ace) receives full SIL-TEC treatment on all plates and rollers with hollow pin construction for lighter weight. The CN-HG701-11 receives SIL-TEC on the roller link and pin link plates only and is slightly heavier, but still offers excellent durability and e-bike compatibility.

Is a quick-link or connecting pin required?

Yes. Use a Shimano 11-speed connecting pin or compatible quick-link. The pin is not included with the chain.

Best For

Road, gravel, and MTB riders on Shimano 11-speed drivetrains who want a durable, SIL-TEC treated chain at a step below Dura-Ace pricing. Also a solid choice for e-bike builds requiring a rated 11-speed chain.
